I hope this era is more accessible. TS3 felt too exclusive and I didn't like that.

Agreed. Anyone else remember when TS1 was the highest grossing game EVER way back when and still is in the top five, I think?

The Sims always sells incredibly. I do hope sales go up though.

You can thank Bryan for that! He did so good

I don't even care about the CAS part because I know there will be Sims 4 Custom Content..

So now I have to end my Sims 3 game because my computer cannot handle Sims 3 and Sims 4 .

I just hope the gameplay is more fluid and more engaging. We need way more leisure activities for Sims.

[TMTURKEY]

I want a drastic change from TS3 from TS4 because like in the OP. TS2 is really no gradual difference in gameplay than TS3. I want whole new ideas and concepts

[Doogle]

Gameplay is important and while I love CAS and build mode they NEED to show some proper gameplay. Not here for a boring opportunity-based game again.

I didn't realize the Sims in 3 were so ugly

With the right mods/cc/genetics they can look just fine, like these two I made.

Here's the sim I made last week. She owned 2 5 star resorts in Isla Paradisa until the game crashed :/

Could someone give me a brief overview of how this game is different from The Sims 3?
Please don't draw comparisons to The Sims 2 because I didn't play it.

Can't really say for sure. TS1 and 2 are such dramatic differences compared to TS3. Rod Humble took over for Maxis right before TS3 and his previous job was working on mmos. He wanted to cash in on two markets by making The Sims 3 more objective and opportunity and collecting focused instead of on interaction and storytelling. TS2 was more of the latter. Presumably, with Humble gone and EA ditching the always online ****, they seem to be doing anything they can to appease fans.

the game is ratchet I don't understand why they wouldn't go the realistic route... Why settle for this ratchet ass era for a game so popular?

What a total mess just remembering the past 5 years World Adventures was such a kick in the balls for so many fans. We are not here for some objective type **** that isn't really optional. It felt like we were being told how to play too much. Sims 2 really felt like you could do anything you wanted and there was never emphasis on one area over another.

I'm such a Sims 2 stan it's probably why, I don't even mean to talk badly about Sims 3 cos I still play it occasionally.

I honestly think it's a better style, I personally don't want my sims to be realistic

Because a lot of the fans (including me) want a less realistic route bc
1. too realistic looks scary
2. too realistic looks tacky
3. too realistic looks dumb af.

[Skywalker]

The reason Sims don't look too realistic is because of something called the Uncanny Valley, if you don't know what it is, look up TS2 sims that have been photoshopped and done up to the point that they look like dolls. It, scientifically, really makes the human psyche uncomfortable and fearful.

[Su-Barbie-A]

I just want them to give us a chance to enjoy occult sims without thinking about finding work, a partner, etc.

This series needs some type of auto save feature cause twice my game froze while spending hours working on my house.

That **** makes me cry.
